‘Agbaje’ll sack civil servants like Fayose’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has warned Lagosians not to vote for the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) next month as a large majority of civil servants can “kiss their jobs good bye”.

In a statement in Lagos by the State Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, the party said: “Jimi Agbaje would embark on mass sacking just like Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, who sacked over 300 employees of the Ekiti State Traffic Management Authority.

“Just as the Fayose administration embarked on the mass sacking of over 800 members of the Peace Corps and other employees, Agbaje would go after employees of all state parastatals.

“Employees of the Kick Against Indiscipline Task Force, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, the Lagos State Waste Water Management Agency and over 60 other agencies would be sent into the labour market, if the PDP takes over.”

The party said a month after Fayose became governor, he slashed the salaries of Ekiti street sweepers from N10, 000 to N5, 000.

“At a time when the rate of unemployment in the country is high, Lagos workers cannot risk losing their means of livelihood by voting for a party that is on a revenge mission having been rejected by the people in four elections.”
